Did you look at the
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm link at the
bottom of Graham;s message?
To learn more about VBA take a look at the article "Getting To Grips With
VBA Basics In 15 Minutes" at:
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Macros...csIn15Mins.htm
and at other things on pages on that site and at the pages that are linked
from that site.

Graham,
I am sorry to admit it but I read all thru your website link at the
bottom of your most kind post, and I don't know in which document to save
the
macro or if it even would be saved into a document?
I am a beginner VBAer. On another note, where or what is a good course
to go to learn VBA? So I have two questions: where to plug the macro is
the
other.
Thanks!!

While I agree with Doug that re-merging would be the better option - if
applicable, the following macro will do as you asked. Define the path

that
new folder at the prompt.

I want it placed centered horizontally and centered vertically

and the second line is

Thanks!
This is not a job for mail merge, but if the documents are all
similar in layout, the graphic is the correct size and will be
inserted in the same place in each document, it should be possible
to achieve that with a batch process using vba. Where *exactly* do
you want the graphic to be placed.

I have 50 word documents that I want to add the same signature to.
Can this be done via Mail Merge? How?
